Dragon Quest — AB

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Dragon Quest is a small single-player underground map for Armageddon's Blade, set on a 36 by 36 grid with a hard difficulty rating. The premise centers on gathering the dragon artifacts scattered across the level and using the faerie dragons that can be recruited to take on the guardians. The terrain is mostly rock and grass, with sand, subterranean ground and a little water. The one town and single hero are the only player-controlled elements; the Red player's faction is random. Wandering armies include sprites, zealots, harpy hags, a wyvern monarch, wood elves, a royal griffin, a bone dragon and a dread knight. Victory requires defeating one specific monster, and the game is lost if the timer runs out after 112 days. The map also holds the Grail, a number of mines, banks and teleporters, and a timed event.
